How to Make Beer Battered String Green Beans With Remoulade Dip

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup beer, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper until smooth and foamy.
  2. Trim the ends of 1 pound string beans. Dredge the beans in the batter, ensuring each bean is fully coated.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  4. Carefully add about 10 beans at a time to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 1 minute, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the fried beans with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the beans are fried.
  7. While the beans are frying, prepare the remoulade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped capers, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
  8. To serve: Place a few tablespoons of remoulade dip in the bottom of a clear tumbler or small glass. Arrange the fried green beans vertically in the tumbler, standing them up in the dip.
  9. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
